The Lemon Cake That Never Was… But Might Be? 🍋


Recipe can be found at FoodandBevy.com

Two weeks ago, in a moment of ambition (or maybe delusion), I casually mentioned that I was going to bake a lemon cake for a dear friend who is obsessed with all things lemon. I mean, truly—if it’s citrusy, tart, and bright yellow, she’s all in.

It seemed like a great idea at the time. A sweet gesture. A way to spread a little joy at work.

And yet… here we are. Two. Whole. Weeks. Later.

Still. No. Cake.

Now, I could keep living in the shame of my unfulfilled promise (and believe me, my friend is not letting me forget it), or I could finally get my act together and go big. Because if I’m going to bake something lemony, it better be worth the wait.

Enter: The Ultimate Lemon Pound Cake 🍋✨

I’m thinking of whipping up a moist, buttery lemon pound cake, soaking it in a bright and zesty lemon simple syrup, and finishing it off with a sweet-tart lemon glaze that drips down the sides in all its citrusy glory.

Basically, a triple lemon threat. Because if I’m finally delivering on my promise, it’s gotta be extra.

But now I’m wondering… do I actually go through with it? Or do I continue to make empty, lemon-flavored promises and see how long I can drag this out? (Kidding! …Maybe.)

What do y’all think? Should I finally put my baking where my mouth is and make this cake happen?
